In Chapter nine of the 2021 - 2022 Bitcoin Association annual report video, we look at the many initiatives held by the Association with and for government institutions and regulatory bodies during the previous year.
One of the unique aspects of the Bitcoin SV ecosystem is our efforts to actively engage and involve government offices and regulatory bodies in developing the network. The Bitcoin Association views them as valued partners who play a major role in the realisation of Satoshi Nakamoto's vision for Bitcoin.
In the previous year, the Association joined several industry associations looking to grow blockchain technology in their regions. Bitcoin Association also signed a memorandum of understanding with the Presidential Initiative for Artificial Intelligence & Computing and the Pakistan Freelancers Association to advance the education and adoption of blockchain technology in Pakistan.
Bitcoin Association initiatives with governments include:
The Tuvalu National Digital Ledger aims to integrate Tuvalu's governance and financial systems with the BSV public ledger to make it the first paperless society. Using the VXPASS application to track Covid-19 vaccinations in Lesotho, with the support of the World Health Organisation (WHO), the US State Department, and the World Bank. A historic week-long official visit by BSV to Sudan at the invitation and patronage of its Ministry of Telecommunication and Digital Transformation.
